My Coast to Coast Walk 2023 - Day 10: Brompton-on-Swale to Ingleby Cross

18th May 2023.
Flat walking today but a lot of it on roads which is tough on the feet. Unfortunately the church was locked at Bolton-on-Swale which is a shame as I would have liked to have had a look inside. Crossed quite a few fields full of cows which I'm always wary of, though none actually took any notice of me. Today's walk took me along several sludgy footpaths that were becoming overgrown - it felt like this section of the walk is a bit neglected.
Isabel's Tuck Shop at Danby Wiske is definitely worth a visit, great choice and reasonably priced.
Crossing the A19 was a nightmare, and the traffic flies by at such speed.
This was the only day that my feet really ached, I think it was the pounding of walking on so many roads.
Hot and sunny for much of the day.
17.85 miles.

Crossing the highway was a little scary. Glad you were very patient with the traffic. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing. Blessings

Crossing that duel carriageway is not the best part of the walk! and I wasn't going to take any chances.

Hopefully, now the route has been officially adopted, they put a safe crossing for the A19?

[@jeanpipes1160]

I guess they will. It took me a while as you probably saw from my video, but made it safely. I think this bit worries some people.

@@jeanpipes1160 we all crossed the road safely and them were nearly mown down by a van that came off the A19 and round the corner much too quickly - still we all survived and all reached RHB in the end
